slowly re scribing, filling and working on the fuse.

The nose gear doors fit like garbage and took a lot of work to get a somewhat acceptable fit.

 

I've started building up the rudder counterbalance as its moulded into the vertical stab and not part of the rudder...sigh

 

I see the elevators have the same issue.

I'll get some pics posted tomorrow but had a great afternoon at the bench.

The nose gear doors are all on and sanded out.

Need to make the blast panel out of furnace tape still.

Got the weapons bulges on and drilled for the master barrels.

Got the vac canopy cut out and fitted, went scarily well and fast.

Reworked the rudder (top) and got both parts ready to pin.

Started on the elevators and boy what a mess there, have one 75% done.

Thanks Gaz, there are some glaring shape issues but for the most part are an easy fix.

shot some primer to check seams, need to fix a few then push through the rescribe work I have.

Tail feathers all done, need to pin then attach the stabs.

The wings are gonna be a challenge, need to get the correct anehedral set then deal with the massive gaps.
